Crieff Hill Golf Club

Crieff Hill Golf Club lies on the outskirts of Perth, in Perth and Kinross, and takes its character from the hillside ground on which it is laid out. The course has a moorland feel, with open fairways running across the slopes and few of the mature trees that dominate the area's parkland alternatives, giving golfers a clear sense of the surrounding landscape as they play. Elevation change is a central feature of the layout, and the higher points of the course offer sweeping views across the Highland fringe that stretches north and west from Perth towards the hills of Strathearn and beyond. This open, exposed style of golf contrasts with the more sheltered, tree-lined courses found closer to the centre of Perth, and it rewards golfers who are comfortable reading slopes and adjusting for wind off the higher ground. The club sits within reach of Perth's other courses, making it a useful addition for golfers looking to sample a different style of layout during a visit to the area. Its position on rising ground close to the city means it also serves as one of the more accessible hillside courses in Perth and Kinross for visiting golfers without a car.
